Try II Once for the Cigars.
[To BE CONTINUED

"The newest trick on the road" re-
marked drummer, sis pretty sleek
one, and know boys who have made
all their cigars and drinks on it for sew
eral weeks. You go into the billiard
room of the hotel, pick up a cue, and
begin practicing. You try some fancy
shots. OF course, lot of fellows will
gather around to look on and make re-
marks and catch and spot the balls for
you, and show you what they can do
with the stick. In this way you soon
get on easy terms with n number of
young fellows. Then you inquire If
any of them has ever noticed the pecnl-
lar optical delusion there is about a bill
lard table, and proceed to illustrate by
placing two balls within a few inches
of each other near the lower cushion.
Now fix your eyes on those two balls,
You say to one of the bystanders, walk
completely around the table, all the
time with your gaze fixed on the balls,
and as soon as you have completed the
circuit of the table pick up cue and
try to shoot this ball so as to hit those
two The shot is such an easy one,
and the whole matter looks so simple
that the bystander is quite ready to de-
clare his ability to walk around the
table dozen times, if necessary, and
make the carrom afterward. He is also
ready to wager the cigars that your
optical delusion' won't delude him.
While lie is walking about the table

LADY Perth has no right to say or to

of the Towers-just for one day."
"Would your" said Marguerite.
"What would you dor"
"Cause Lady Perth to vanish with
the rapidity of an eclipse" he replied.
To himself he muttered:
II can not imagine what my cousin
is thinking Of"
In his own heart he felt like knight
Grant who had come to fight all the
difficulties that seemed to surround
this young and beautiful Lady Stair.
They entered the house together.
"If you want to see Lord Stair, you
will find him in the library; he shuts
himself up there every morning. Ifyou
want Lady Perth you will find her in
the white drawing room; she holds a
committee there every morning"
"And." he interrupted. "if want to
find Lady Stair, where shall | look?''
She laughed.
''In the nursery, If l dare make nv

Suffering WOmanhOOd.

Too much effort cannot be made to bring
to the attention Of suffering womanhood
the great value of Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound as a remedy for the
diseases of women. Such an one is the
wife of General Darlington OF Winston, N.
c., and we quote from the Generals letter
as follows: "Dear Mrs. Pinkham: Please
allow me to add my testimony to the most
excellent medicinal qualities Of your Veg
etable Compound. Mrs. Darlington was
treated for several years for what the
physician called Leucorrh9a and Prolap-
sus Uteri combined. l sent her to Rich
mond, Va, where she remained for six
months under the treatment of an emf
nent physician without any permanent
benefit. She was induced to try your
medicine and after reasonable time COM
menced to improve and is now able to at
tend to her business and considers herself
fully relieved.n General Barringtcn is the
proprietor Of the American Hotel, Wins
ton, N. c., and is widely known.

CHAPTER TX.
"UNDKR THE oAK-TREEs. )"

Captain Darsey Este walked straight
up to her, She looked at him, not
knowing who ne was. Lord Stair had
spoken of him seversl times, but not in
such manner as to impress her. She
had never thought of him. Once Lady
Perth, on the loo. out for something
disagreeable to say, had told her it was
great pity her child was not boy.
IF my brother has no son." she said,
''all his property, which is emtailed,
will go to his next of kin, Captain Darcy
Este"
But even that had made little impress
sion on her. She had hardly thought
Of him. She little knew what a lovely
picture she made sitting under the
shade of the great oak-trees; their
grand branches spread out formed a
canopy for her fair head; the sunlight
came-fitered through them. 1t touch
ed her golden hair and hower-like face;
Il touched the white hands that caressed
the pretty DAISIES; it lay athwart the
pale-blue dress. The sweet summer
air had given her the farest bloom.
Beauty made for mans undoing,"
laughed the young soldier to himself.
"Can this my Cousins wife,"
He look, at her half shyly for few
minutes, tin took courage, and, going
up, stood h,fore her bareheaded, the
sun shining on his handsome face and
clusters Of fair hair.

had something Of the clearness and
freshness of summer in 1t. az beg par

IL am Lady STAIR" she replied quiet
ly, although beautiful flush rose to
her face. Why she should blush was
mystery even to herself
MAY ask" he continued, "If you
know me?"
She looked at him. Their eyes met.
and she wondered again why her own
eyes dropped and tell until the white
uds covered them. She wondered
what this strange new thrill at her
heart was; she had never known 1t
he6ore. Then she answered.

How to Get Strong.

Dumb-bells and horizontal bars, Indian
clubs and the trapeze are valuable under
certain conditions, but they are detrimen-
tai rather than beneficial If the blood is
poor and thin and poisoned with bile.
U,e # the muscles necessitates waste as
wei as induces growth. If the blood does
not carry sufficient nutritive material to
repair the waste, loss of strength neces-
sarily follows and growth is out of the
cuestion. Purify and enrich your blood
with Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery' and then exercise will develop
and not consume your physique.
